KENGO KUMA

Kengo Kuma stands among Japan’s most influential architects and serves as Professor Emeritus at the University of Tokyo, also acclaimed as a thoughtful writer and philosopher. He advocates an architecture that forges fresh connections between nature, technology and people. This second monograph presents forty projects organised by building type, with a timely emphasis on responses to natural disasters and the pandemic, the strengthening of local communities, and our enduring need for shared human experience and collective gathering across diverse contexts and cultural settings.
